Ingredients

  • 1 leek ends trimmed and cut into thin slices crossways
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 sheet puff pastry cut into 8 equal portions
  • 1/2 cup bacon pieces
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
  • 3/4 cup parmesan cheese finely grated and divided

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F/190 degrees C. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Cut the puff pastry into 8 equal parts and place on the baking tray. Place in the refrigerator.
  • In a medium sized skillet set over medium heat, add the olive oil and leeks. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 8 - 10 minutes or until golden and soft. Remove from heat.
  • While the leeks are cooking, add the butter and garlic to a small pan. Bring it to a sizzle for about 2 minutes. Add the salt and parsley. Stir well and remove from heat.
  • Remove the puff pastry from the fridge. Brush each piece with the garlic butter. Divide about half of the parmesan cheese between the 8 pastry pieces. Top with leeks, bacon pieces and tomatoes. Top with remaining parmesan cheese.
  • Bake between 15 - 20 minutes or until golden and puffed up. Remove from oven and serve hot.
